Indium. Bayer sum above 2

Schalke has scored points in 8 consecutive rounds, but in 6 of them the Pitmen were satisfied with only a draw, including the match against Borussia Dortmund (2: 2).

Nevertheless, it helped the club maintain its chances of survival. After 25 rounds, it shares the 16th place in the table with Hertha, giving way only to additional indicators. During this period, the team averaged 1.16xg per game, with 1.05xg allowed.

One of the “authors” of the success was Moritz Jentz, who came in the winter transfer window. He took the quality of the team’s defense to a new level. The centre-back will be absent for the next game, which will be a real blow for Schalke.

Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso play attacking, spectacular football based on moving wings that permeate the last third of the pitch. On average, per match, under the guidance of a Spanish specialist, “pharmacists” make 1.6 xg, with 1.25 xg allowed.

The team is approaching the upcoming meeting with a 5-win streak, including a 2-1 win over Bayern in the last game. Noteworthy is the noticeable improvement in the team’s productivity in front of the opponent’s goal after the recovery of last season’s key offensive player – Wirtz (0+3).

Bayer is at the top of its form and shows the best football this season. I think Schalke without Yenz has virtually no chance of keeping their goal intact.
